richardson, said that the speed of the 83 miles an hour -- mr. boardman, is 86 miles an hour on average, just for the record? >> somewhere between 83 and 86. i think it's in the high 60's going from new york to boston which just is not acceptable. so the purpose of the hearings, again, are not only to deal with the consumer, as mr. boardman talked about, but also the taxpayers and having been home during the thanksgiving period and to several cities during the thanksgiving period, i saw hundreds literally thousands of americans working so hard to pay their bills, raise their families, be responsible citizens. and they also send a good portion of their labor, sweat and tears to washington and we have to be responsible stewards and trustees of their hard-earned dollars. that's what we intend to do until we call the very last hearing to order. so with that if there are no further members -- there are no other questions from the members of the committee, let me just do a little home work here. i ask unanimous consent that the record of today's hearin

probably no one knew who sergeant channing hicks and specialist joseph richardson were. they were two american soldiers killed in afghanistan the friday before he was interviewed. almost everyone in the country knows paula boardwell. that's such a tragedy, mr. speaker, that our troops are dying in afghanistan and we're writing about generals having relationships with outside of a marriage. it makes no sense. we've lost 32 americans in october and november. i want to know where is the outrage here in congress, why are we spending money we don't have, why are our troops dying and yet we just seem to go on and on talking about the fiscal cliff? well, i know that's important. mr. speaker, it is time for congress to realize that we are having young men and women to die in afghanistan for a failed policy that will not change one thing. mr. speaker, before closing, i make reference to this poster of a young american in a casket being carried by his colleagues to be buried. please, american people, put pressure on congress to bring our troops home now and not wait until december
